"Friendly staff, very clean, good buffet breakfast. Love the beach by the hotel. Love to stay there again!!"

"This is by far the best hotel in Cartagena, Bocagrande area. It’s secured and well maintained. Great buffet breakfast. If I had any complaints, is that the elevators were a little slow but it was due to high occupancy, but not really an issue. Highly recommend. "

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is excellent—very convenient and close to everything we needed, which made getting around easy and enjoyable. What truly stood out was the staff: everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. Their hospitality made a big difference in our experience. The property itself is unique and charming, with animals around that added a special touch—especially enjoyable for families and kids. Breakfast was very good, with a nice variety and fresh options each morning. The swimming pools were also a highlight—clean, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing. Overall, a great place to stay. We would definitely come back!"

"Great property great staff!"

"No ocean view "

"The room was cleaned well daily. The service at the restaurant was slow, but good. Perhaps just a difference from American culture. Comfortable beds. The water was absolutely beautiful 😻 I could eat the fish from the restaurant every day for dinner and be perfectly happy!"

"Me sentí muy incómoda porque al llegar me hicieron un downgrade de la habitacion y simplemente me dijeron que eso es lo que había, mas o menos qje de malas. Servicio al cliente bien precario. Logré al final lo que me merecía pero habria preferido desde el principio que me trataran como corresponde tratar a un cliente"

"Just returned from an absolutely amazing stay in **Sofitel Barú Calablanca Beach Resort** in **Barú**, and I can’t recommend it enough. 🌴 If you’re looking for a place to truly disconnect, this is it. The atmosphere was incredibly tranquil—perfect for sitting quietly, relaxing, and soaking in the beauty of the island. The food was honestly **10 out of 5**. Every meal felt like a highlight of the trip. 🍽️ The staff were just as impressive—so attentive, warm, and genuinely personable. They made the entire stay feel special. Jesus, Daniel and Victor made my stay unforgettable! Jorge's cooking, the Chef at Humo, was visionary, precise, and deeply flavorful!! I would absolutely return without hesitation. The **only suggestion** I’d make is for the hotel to include the boat transfer from **Cartagena** to the island as part of the stay. Offering that ride complimentary would make the experience even smoother and more seamless. All in all, an unforgettable escape. ✨ "

"We had a great time. We stayed for a week and got to experience most of what the resort has to offer. We came with two little kids under two and glad we were put on the first floor and had a big family room. Moving around was hard work with a stroller because there’s lot of stairs and not enough ramps. The buffet food had lot of options to choose from. Some are hits and some misses. The restaurants had good food. My main issue was with communication. This was my birthday trip and I let the staff know during check in and asked what they offered for birthdays; I was told it was handled and during my dinner, no one was aware and I had to tell them it was my birthday. We weren’t told about the schedules or how anything worked, maybe it’s the language barrier. We had to figure things out and makeout what the pamphlet said. However we loved the overall staff from the restaurants to the lobby and overall services. Everyone is very patient and friendly. By the time we had to go the staff honestly felt like family. They knew our names and kids names. Really a great crew. "
